Cabinet considered the draft Annual Performance Report for 2017-18. The report set out the Council’s performance during 2017-18 against delivering the Corporate Improvement Plan (2016 – 2020) priorities and met the Council’s reporting duties under the Well-being Act and the Local Government (Wales) Measure 2009. It aimed to provide a balanced and open account of performance.
The Chair of the Learning, Skills and Economy Scrutiny Committee expanded on the comments of the Joint Chairs that had considered the report. He confirmed that the Joint Chairs had found it to be a balanced and factual report and he commended officers for taking on board the comments from the Joint Chairs meeting. He suggested two further changes, the inclusion of a section on the Council’s preparations for Brexit and mention of the Level Two Plus results.
In connection with Brexit preparations, the Leader explained that the Council was working closely with the WLGA and that she had arranged for a briefing for Members on 7th November. She was content for a comment to be included in the draft to be considered by Council. The Portfolio Holder for Learning and Welsh Language also confirmed that she was happy for the Level Two Plus results to be referenced noting that Powys pupils had achieved the second best results in Wales.
